This map and game mode are unlike anything else with so many unpredictable factors that make it difficult to comprehend and enjoy.
There are countless possibilities and outcomes.
However, in my opinion, it is also the most unbalanced map which detracts from the fun.
Instead of having exciting clashes between different civilizations like Vikings and Teutons, it is dominated by repetitive matchups of Spanish, Malians, and Persians who possess unfair advantages such as the ability to instantly create a fishing ship or drop a castle and unleash powerful unique units.
Although I personally enjoy playing Nomad, these issues prevent it from being a truly great experience.
